Synopses & Reviews
This monograph is a collection of the results the authors have obtained on difference equations and inequalities. In the last few years this discipline has gone through such a dramatic development that it is no longer feasible to present an exhaustive survey of all research. However, this state-of-the-art volume offers a representative overview of the authors' recent work, reflecting some of the major advances in the field as well as the diversity of the subject. Audience: This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in mathematical analysis and its applications, concentrating on finite differences, ordinary and partial differential equations, real functions and numerical analysis.
